Here I show how I laid out the spacing for my border pattern. Instead of measuring out each little line, I cut a narrow piece of plastic sheet to the width I wanted then just laid it against the first line and used it's opposite edge to draw the next line etc, etc. I've been having trouble with the surface of the buckle scratching easily, so I covered the center portion with clear packaging tape while I drew and cut the border pattern.






This is the buckle just after I cut the border.





I temporarily darkened it for photo purposes and to see what it will look like finished.i
